It is a gray March morning in Lapeer County, and the person who did your return last year has stopped answering. The extension deadline is closing in, the books are only half ready, and every friend you ask has a different name and a different horror story.
With accounting and tax in one place, your books, your filings and your questions all go to the same team. Licensed CPA partners prepare and sign the returns, and we keep the books, gather the documents and chase the deadlines so nothing waits on you to remember it.
Spring stops being a scramble. You have a good idea of what you owe before the year ends, your federal, Michigan and city returns go out on time, and when a letter shows up from a tax agency you forward it instead of losing sleep over it.
Tap the ones that sound like your week.

We collect last year's returns, your books and any notices, and list what is still missing.
We look at your entity, owner pay and how the books are kept, and flag anything worth changing.
Returns are prepared, reviewed with you and filed before the deadline, city returns included.
Quarterly check-ins so the next year holds no surprises.
What we report every month: Filing deadlines met, Estimated tax paid versus projected, Open notices or letters, and Items still needed from you.
An accountant turns your books into returns, reviews whether your entity and owner pay make sense and answers the questions that come up during the year. Bookkeeping is the daily recording. Accounting is the review and the filing that sit on top of it. When both live with the same team, very little falls between the cracks.
The entity type matters most, because a sole proprietor, an S corp and a partnership each file differently. Add in how clean the books are, how many states or cities you file in, payroll, and whether owner returns are included. We quote a fixed fee once we have seen last year's return and the state of the books.
Michigan has its own business and individual returns, and several Michigan cities, Detroit among them, levy their own income tax on residents and on work done inside city limits. Owners who work in more than one city, or have employees who do, often have filings they never knew about. We sort out which ones apply to you and get them filed.
A bookkeeper keeps the books current every month. An accountant uses those books to file, plan and advise. If the books are a mess, you end up paying accountant rates for bookkeeping work, which is why clean monthly books usually lower the tax prep bill.
Ask who signs the return and whether they are a licensed CPA or enrolled agent. Ask how they handle questions in the middle of the year and how fast they respond to a notice. The right fit knows your kind of business, explains your return in plain words and plans ahead instead of only filing what already happened.
Quick and familiar, but built for the filing, not for planning or answering questions in July.
Deep expertise, often with long waits, hourly billing and little help keeping the books right during the year.
Books, filings and year-round questions in one place, with licensed CPA partners signing returns and a fixed fee quoted up front.
